Vincent van Gogh is the quintessential art-world phenomenon, both for his artistic creations and life story. But now, he's everywhere, in a new way: the center of a boom in immersive art experiences.

Plus on the intro, a look at how CDs increased for the first time in 17 years, and how voiceovers are being disrupted by AI. My guest this week is Avid Solutions Specialist Jeff Komar. Jeff grew up around music and recording so he naturally gravitated towards the tech world. He joined Digidesign in 2000 before it was bought by Avid, and he's specialized in helping creators solve problems ever since.  Since there have been so many questions lately about immersive audio, I thought I'd get the info from someone directly connected to the technology. During the interview we spoke about what's required to get started in immersive audio, where to find sessions to practice with, the difference between bed and object tracks, the different mixing approaches, how it's affected production, and much more. I spoke with Jeff via Zoom from his home studio. On the intro I'll take a look at how CDs actually increased in sales last year, and how voiceovers are being disrupted by AI. var podscribeEmbedVars = { epId: 82612661, backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };

On this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to Jordan Lejuwaan - who has founded a series of incredibly unique and highly successful businesses, covering everything from psychedelics to immersive virtual reality art experiences - he's someone knows how to launch an idea, raise money, execute on that and make it successful. The most recent venture that he's involved in is called the Internet Game - an interactive gameshow hosted by a virtual influencer with 10M followers, where if you survive the series of games, you can win a Bored Ape amongst other massive NFT prizes. I reached out and asked if he'd come and chat to us on the podcast about everything he's worked on but also about what the future of content might look like in the metaverse, as we embark on this new immersive future of the internet. Jordan was brilliant in this chat, a super smart and lovely guy who also at the end of the episode, shares some of the best advice I've heard for how to get involved in this space if you want to do that but aren't sure quite how. Thank you Jordan for coming on.

My guest this week is Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Michael Romanowski, who's the owner and chief mastering engineer at Coast Mastering in Berkley, CA. Michael has over 30 years of experience mastering in stereo, but he's been a pioneer in mastering for immersive audio, complete with a new purpose-built 9.1.6 room. Michael's immersive credits include the original motion picture soundtrack for Dune, Hans Zimmer, three albums by Alicia Keys, Eagles “Live From The Form”, and quite a few others. During the interview we spoke about what people expect from immersive mastering, how the loudness wars are creeping in again, the tools he uses and the tools he'd still like to have, what makes a great immersive mix, and much more. I spoke with Michael via Zoom from his studio just in the Bay area. On the intro I'll take a look at Apple Music finally converting its full catalog to lossless, and the top 20 computer audio interfaces. var podscribeEmbedVars = { epId: 82587791, backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };

Music to heal, rejuvenate, and de-stress, enjoy tranquil and peaceful deep relaxation with 4D music. When it comes to creating an immersive "4D-like effect," we used the most cutting-edge technology available in the music and sound industry. Free Weekly Newsletter To Learn Meditation So You Can Meditate More Effectively HERE... If you've ever listened to Theta and Delta brainwave frequencies together, you've likely experienced a deep state of relaxation. With Theta waves, the mind can learn, heal, and grow to its fullest extent when it is in the Theta state. Delta waves are the lowest, deepest, and slowest of the brain's waves, located just below theta waves. Delta waves predominate during deep, restorative sleep, but both theta and delta waves can be found when you're sleeping. In a sitting or lying position, listen to this audio track as much as you feel is appropriate. Headphones are required to get the full 4D immersive experience. If you want the best results, keep the volume at a level that is comfortable for you. There are specific frequencies used in this track that are intended to make the listener feel at ease, relaxed, and refreshed. This is achievable since we've merged Delta and Theta frequency waves together. To ensure that the auditory cortex is fully saturated, both emulating from the right and left ear will affect the right and left sides of the brain at separate intervals. Relaxation, calmness, rejuvenation, and warmth will permeate your being (these effects have been reported very early on in studies). To be on the safe side, ALWAYS check with your doctor before attempting to treat any medical issues yourself (including depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, phobias, or any other cognitive - or physically related illnesses).

On 29th December I hosted the 2021 Immersive Tech Review with panelists Alan Smithson and Julie Smithson from MetaVRse and Judity Okonkwo from Imisi 3D. Our discussion was wide-ranging covering events such as new launches from Snap, Niantic, no and lo-code game engines, Microsoft Mesh, acquisitions that made headlines including Wikitude, Pico and Sketchfab, the growing participation of women in XR, hardware launches from HP, Pico and Varjo.  And of course the big story of 2021, FB morphing into Meta.... #metaverse #immersivetech #xr2021 #immersivetechnology #ar #vr

Meet our guest on this episode, Dov Hirsch, General Manager of the Immersive Health Group, a subsidiary of the Glimpse Group, which works with Augmented and Virtual Reality technology building software for a variety of industries including healthcare. In this episode, Dov describes the role of AR/VR as well as the entertainment industry generally, in future advancements of the healthcare industry, particularly following the impact of the pandemic on workflows. Top Takeaways [03:00] Get uncomfortable, explore things that you haven't explored, and be open to ideas that you haven't been open to. [17:17] There is a huge difference between what people talk about in healthcare and what they do. Even with growth in value-based care, it is grossly under-practiced, and most healthcare delivery in the US remains fee for service. [21:21] The role of AR/VR in healthcare: The two main areas where augmented reality will have an impact are Clinical training and Behavioral health. [30:56] Lessons from experience in failure: The failure of so many health systems is leaning too heavily on past knowledge and actions that gave success, to predict what will be successful in the future. [38:53] Tools for building intimate teams: Leaders need to demonstrate an ability to change and adaptability to different situations to still achieve their goals. While closely managing the most important things, the leaders must also keep in mind that the goal is not to be indispensable; the goal is to be able to walk away and know that the entity can thrive. [43:30] Best 'Aha' moment: There are lots of opportunities for healthcare to deliver impact using entertainment as a tool, and this has been greatly underestimated. [48:20] Current exciting changes in healthcare: Care delivery has to be more affordable, more convenient, and more effective. Quality professionals need to start thinking about applying quality measures to retail and consumer health. [53:37] Dov gets a lot of inspiration from his family and the fun in his work. [56:53] Best career advice: "Accept Help; Don't be afraid to ask for help" [01:00:30] Successful Habit: Take care of your health [01:02:45] A professional society recommendation: Game Developers Conference (GDC) [01:03:38] Book recommendation: ‘The Challenger Sale' by Matthew Dixon, ‘Moonwalking with Einstein' by Joshua Foer, ‘The Tipping Point' by Malcolm Gladwell [01:06:05] Dov's message to himself would be to embrace who he is, and to have fun. [01:09:30] How to contact Dov Key Quotes: "Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, if you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong" "You cannot underestimate the value of your clinical or caregiving workforce" "The opportunities for learning are going to be greatest where and when mistakes occur" "We don't transform, if we're lucky and we work hard, we adapt" "Everyone needs to seek out help and accept it" Connect: Find | Dov Hirsch LinkedIn – Dov Hirsch Website – www.immersivehealthgroup.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healthcarequalitycast/message

Finally, we are at a point where the grand unified theory of conspiracy, the paranormal, the unidentified, and the unexplained, unfolds in one terrifying and all inspiring realization. It doesn't take the new Matrix film to remind fans of the plot. During the war with the machines, the sky was darkened to prevent the initial machines from obtaining their energy. As a response, the machines began to farm, cultivate, and exploit the energy of the human as a battery to power their systems. But like in the movie The Island, the clones would only be useful if they had been allowed to obtain consciousness. In the same way for the same reason, the machines plugged humans into a virtual simulation of their world at the height of the 20th century. This simulation of the real world is the womb of synthetic growth. It powers the machine world and feeds the artificial system. Support this podcast

In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel and Monica Bolles are joined by the director of the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory at the University of Huddersfield – Hyunkook Lee. Dr Hyunkook Lee is a Reader (i.e., Associate Professor) in Music Technology and the Director of the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory, University of Huddersfield, U.K. His research over the last 10 years contributed to advancing the understanding of three-dimensional (3D) audio perception and developing new 3D capture and reproduction techniques. He has invented various psychoacoustics-based 3D microphone arrays including PCMA-3D and ESMA-3D, whose principle for height microphone configuration has been adopted for Schoep's award-winning ORTF-3D array. Recently, he has been focusing on researching and developing perceptually optimised techniques of 6DoF audio rendering for extended reality applications. He is also currently leading a multidisciplinary project that connects immersive arts and technologies. From 2006 to 2010, he was a Senior Research Engineer in audio R&D with LG Electronics, South Korea, where he participated in the standardisations of MPEG audio codecs and developed spatial audio algorithms for mobile devices. He is an Associate Technical Editor of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (AES). He co-edited a recently published book “3D Audio” (Routledge). Hyunkook is a Fellow of the AES, Vice-Chair of the AES High-Resolution Audio Technical Committee, and has recently been elected as a Governor of the AES for 2022-2023. Dr Lee received a B. Mus (Hons) degree in music and sound recording (Tonmeister) from the University of Surrey, U.K., in 2002 and a PhD in spatial audio psychoacoustics from the Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR), the University of Surrey in 2006. In this episode, we discuss Hyunkook's recent research on “A Conceptual Model of Immersive Experience in Extended Reality” and its influence on spatial audio. This episode was produced by Oliver Kadel and Emma Rees and included music by Rhythm Scott.

How Meditation Music Can Boost Your Mood And Health Music has been proven to improve your mood, cognitive capacities, and physical well-being. Music is a vital component of everyday life and should not be overlooked. Mental and physical well-being have also been demonstrated to improve with meditation.  Please listen to this mp3 at a low volume. Use for your personal daily meditation practice, in your car, or as background music as you work. This music does not contain Subliminals, Isochronic, Binaural Beats, or any other types of frequencies. Just beautiful relaxing meditation music. Free Weekly Newsletter To Learn Meditation So You Can Meditate More Effectively HERE... So, just think about the potential benefits of including music in your meditation routine. Listening to meditation music can have a profound impact on both your personal life and your meditation practice. How does listening to meditation music improve your mood?  Think about how music impacts your emotions in general. When a piece of enthusiastic music is playing on the radio, you may want to dance and smile. When a song like the national anthem is played on a public occasion, you may feel nostalgic. During a memorial service, though, you may find yourself in a state of mourning. These scenarios serve as powerful examples of the transformative power of music. Listening to meditation music is no different from other forms of music. It has the capacity to induce a contemplative state in both body and mind. Music for meditation can be found in a range of styles. There's a variety of meditation music to choose from, including nature, musical instruments, and even a church choir. There are some soothing notes here that can help you relax and enter a meditative state when you're feeling overwhelmed by your busy life. In addition to clearing your mind of negativity and depression, listening to meditation music can help in other areas of your life. Meditative music, mantras, and pictures might help you focus on the brighter side of your life. Your brain chemistry can benefit from this imagery and deep breathing techniques while listening to the music. What is the effect of meditation music on your cognitive abilities?  Stressed people are more likely to lose track of things like their keys. Overreacting and not thinking through a matter properly might happen when you're stressed out. It's tough to acquire and remember information since your mind is stretched in a million directions. Confusion prevents you from making good judgments and having fun with your life. With the help of meditation music, you can relax and clear your mind of these burdens. Meditation music has an effect on your brainwaves Electrical potentials or impulses generated by brain tissue are known as brain waves. Each of these pulses has its own frequency. Basically, when you're awake and alert, your brain wave frequencies are faster. To induce a contemplative state, you might listen to meditation music that lowers your brainwave frequencies. Your body relaxes because of the soothing effects of meditation music In the beginning, let's take a look at the soundtracks in movies. Music has a powerful impact on filmmaking. When you're watching a horror film, the music plays a huge role since it raises your heart rate and raises your tension level. Music with uplifting tunes and comic lines, on the other hand, relaxes your body and mind. Meditation music is a type of slow, meditative music This soothing music provides calming messages to your body. Relaxing your muscles You begin to inhale and exhale more slowly, and your lungs begin to fill with oxygen. Music that is too fast or obnoxious won't bother or frighten you. Reduces tension and distracting thoughts by playing soothing music during meditation. Meditation Music: What to Look for Silence or ambient sound maybe your preferred meditation companion, depending on your own personal taste and meditation goals. Alternatively, you might employ meditation music as a soundtrack to your practice. When there is a lot of noise around, meditation music can be helpful. The noises of traffic, children playing outdoors, or a nearby construction project could be disrupting your meditation, for example. Alternatively, you may want to be lulled into a peaceful meditative state by music. Putting on music while meditating with friends or family might be a simple way to enhance your experience. If your meditation group includes youngsters, soft music may help keep them focused and less likely to wander off. It's all up to you what kind of music you play Although I must say I have no idea how they do it, some folks even manage to meditate while listening to heavy metal music! Natural instruments such as acoustic guitars, flutes, and the like are commonly used in meditation music. Although electronic instruments can be used in some current meditation music. Don't be afraid to listen to a sample before you buy something. It's also a good idea to look into whether or not the music contains any binaural or brainwave rhythms. Listening to music with binaural beats can greatly enhance your meditative experience since they make it much easier to enter a trance-like frame of mind. It's worth a try if you've never meditated with music playing in the background. There is a chance that you will be pleased with the outcome. It doesn't matter if you don't care to listen to meditation music in your practice; at least you tried it!

Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maeone/ona/description Website: https://www.whatdoyousee.net/ Transcript below is machine generated: Unknown Speaker 0:00 Your journey has been an interesting one up to hear you've questioned so much more than those around you. You've even questioned yourself as to how you could have grown into these thoughts. Am I crazy? When did I begin to think differently? Why do people in general appear so limited in this process? Rest assured, you are not alone. The world is slowly waking up to what you already know inside yet can't quite verbalize. Welcome to the spiritual dough podcast, the show that answers the questions you never even knew to ask, but knew the answers to questions about you, this world the people in it? And most importantly, how do I proceed now moving forward? We don't have all the answers but we sure do love living in the question. Time for another head of spiritual dub with your host Brandon Handley. Let's get right into today's episode. Brandon Handley 0:41 Hey there spiritual joke. We are on here today with Sylvain the Furies he is a video artists storyteller and independent game developer. He connected with me through our spiritual spiritual dope feedback form, you know, kind of whatever is spiritual dope. And Sylvain is created a game called onah, which is kind of like this experiential, mystical journey to I'll just call it kind of like self discovery. I'm not 100% sure how you're trying to describe the game. So we, but it looks pretty cool. It's like one of a kind. And he's currently got a Kickstarter fund going. And that's just kind of how we contacted I figured it'd be great to have a conversation with them, understand the journey that he's had and introduce them to you and maybe hopefully, get you introduced to the game that he has created. Savannah. Thanks for hopping on. Unknown Speaker 1:37 Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Brandon Handley 1:39 Yeah. So I mean, I typically like to start these off with Sylvain is the idea that you and I are doing. We are we're spiritual beings, right, and that the universe speaks through us. And typically the universe speaks through us and to somebody who's listening in to the podcast, I know that they're listening today to check out your game. And kind of the story behind that. Also. Maybe, maybe there's somebody else out there that's been thinking about trying to do something similar, right, lead with spirituality and do what do it do with something meaningful for them? And they, they, they're gonna get a message from you. And it can only be delivered today to them through this podcast. What is that message today? So Unknown Speaker 2:32 a message that could deliver? I mean, I don't know yet. But I'm sure the words which came to the month when we are speaking now, like sometimes we don't plan what we say. But suddenly we say something meaningful that people receive and it can have an impact. Brandon Handley 2:52 For sure, sure. Absolutely. That's definitely what's gonna happen in this conversation. So let's, let's talk about Spain, give us a little background into this game that you're creating called arena. What? What inspired you as far as I can tell, to take this journey, it's been a it's been a 1010 year journey. So let's, let's start somewhere that got you to travel the world to begin to create this game. Unknown Speaker 3:20 Yeah, actually, it's not a 10 years, your journey is more 15 years journey. The thing is, like this ID popped up in my mind, like when I was a teenager, and I remember I was in a classroom. And earlier, I get decided this inspiration to create a game that could awaken the world. And that was the focus really, just this was a long time ago. So this kind of concept didn't exist that much at the time, and I felt Wow, this could walk, you know, I felt, of course, the world. Or civilization could be amazing. But a lot of things are lacking. And the sense of contemplation was something also really missing in most of the people. So somehow, people didn't perceive the beauty around, you know, didn't focus on the things that everyone was in their own mind and perceiving the things around and I kind of wanted to share that. So yeah, this was the starting point of creating a game that could focus in this on this perception of reality. So I started to write my notebooks, you know, through years. And then I was working as a graphic designer. And I quit my job to travel to investigate about all the spiritual contents around the world and finally did make me understood that the spiritual paths that have been developed since 1000s of years, reach this point of contemplation in this meditative state of mind that we could then be open and perceive things as they are, and not as we conceive them, but as our mind build them. But how are we really perceive them on the present moment? And is what I wanted to create with honor. And is what I wanted to inspire. So usually people who go to the game, sometimes, of course, they reach this state of mind, and they feel touch and realign with themselves and they feel great. Brandon Handley 5:20 That's great that I guess I'd be curious to see if your, that just came to you, as a team. What was your background, I guess that made you so open and aware and eat to even consider an awakening process. Process, Unknown Speaker 5:39 nothing too much. Especially, I think I was just more quiet, I don't know. And, and, through kind of experience, I think I, I remember, the certain point was when I first start to see a tree, basically, you know, when sometimes you are a bit more receptive used to you look at a tree and you you see it, this was a starting point, because I really observe all the details of the leaves, the lights, the shadow, the the movement of everything in history. And then I put my eyes on all the people around I say, Oh, nobody seeds, we nobody seeds. And this was a starting point, like, yeah, there is something to express here. There is something because what I've perceived that I felt so great, so open, so intuitive, you know, and so there is something to express there. And that could potentially add the word to, to see better. Brandon Handley 6:34 So you're seeing all the beauty and everything that there was in the tree, and he just kind of noticed that not not too many people were really catching all the beauty that was around them and experiencing life as it was that that kind of summed up? Unknown Speaker 6:52 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You know, it's like when you go on holiday, and then you arrive near a beautiful landscape, some people will see it, they will really wow, see the sun the clouds and embrace the beauty of it, and some people are still looking them up and organizing the next day, you know that they're not really there, they're not really seeing, that's just this, this just this shift, you know, I think everyone of course, can really contemplate it's just, okay, a perception of, okay, we have it, we see it, you know, Brandon Handley 7:23 it's so true. Just like you're saying, a lot of times people get to get to the get to the destination, and already there, they're not, they're not experiencing the destination at all. They're already ready for the next thing. You're saying, Okay, we got here in our planning tomorrow, we don't even we don't, it's more about like the steps that they took, and everything else than it is about the place that they've gotten to not not let themselves experience that at all. So let's talk about this journey, then, as you popped on and started traveling to different spiritual destinations. Let's talk a little bit about where you went to and what you experienced there. Unknown Speaker 8:11 Okay, so as I told you, I was just basically working as a graphic designer was great, but I felt since the beginning that I needed to travel, actually, in order to complete this project. So yeah, I quit the job and I start first to go more as a tourist, you know, like, I was first in Japan because I was really attracted by this country. Then I switched to all the country like Cambodia to see angle, that's all the ruins, you know. And I was practicing this technique of stop motion, that are present in the game, you know, these pictures, I do one step one picture and I do 1000s and 1000s of pictures and you, you can enter in samples and really explore the urea as you are there, you know, and I was practicing there in Japan, Cambodia and things, but already the picture are great. And then they reach India. And India for me was a really shift a really mind blowing experience. Like, in the time finally, I was one year in India, going back, you know, and this really transformed me changed me. I almost lost myself because this culture this country is so then so intense that it's like a mind blow or Western world minds, you know, is is really different. So, and then I continued to do all the pictures, all the footage or around and slowly slowly finally, I collected a lot of different kind of pictures from all around. And in the same time, the concept of the game evolved, you know, so I had all my notebooks and three years of traveling I was creating this concept of owner Brandon Handley 9:54 what was it I guess in India that blew your mind so to speak, I guess I understand that. Yes, it's an intense culture. But sounds like something really transformed you and shifted you there. What would you say happen? Sylvain De Vreese 10:11 Yeah, nine things, of course. But you heard, of course, about the concept of synchronicity. So this coincidence weapon time, two times, you know, and it happened here, of course, all the time, like this magic of life that bring you the right circumstances, the right moments, you know, in India, for me, it was every five minutes, every five minutes, I had miracles. Like, he wasn't saying it was us so much, you know? And we some friends, were we were looking at each other, like, is it really possible? Like, is it really, you know, it was so intense, so much that things are open. And my theory about how it's possible is because in India, they believe, so everything have this open mind open frequencies to say, okay, everything is possible, my friend, and because everyone believes that things can happen, it can have happen, you know, and compared to all Western world, that people have more disclosing minds to reach for these kind of things, you know, it's not possible anything, so I believe that we can block this vibration to happen. And because, yeah, I think it's in the mind that everything can flow. And finally, is how you travel in the in this country, you you go with the flow. And if you believe your intuition, you go where you feel to, and you don't plan too much, somehow things happen. And, of course, our rich really symbolic in meaningful places during this journey, some holly montains, that many special things happen, these kind of things, you know, everyone in this country has a different kind of experience like this. And at the NFL, this is something this there is something and I believe this prove it can be can be seen again, in the in honor, you know, some people perceived again, and while they see all these pictures, and is it real, is it possible, but yes, when I saw what I experiment, what I felt, and it's kind of content in the game itself. Brandon Handley 12:15 That's fantastic. So I love two pieces about that. One is that sounds like you were able to capture some of that essence, and put that into the game, which is fantastic. You know, just for the audience, and I also also love the I get it, I get what you're saying, in terms of being open to those vibrations, if you're surrounded by other people who believe then then it's more than likely, it's more possible for the sake of people that are checking checking in. So what you what would be like one or two, what you would consider a miracle that you might be able to share. Unknown Speaker 13:01 Yeah, I could share. But of course, miracles are really personal, in a way of you explain them, they lose their impact and power, you know, is really a special thing I can I can give examples here and just for fun, but again, it's just I also ation, Brandon Handley 13:17 and I get it like, how often do we share, like what we would see as Americans somebody wants to somebody wants to explain it away, like, Oh, that was just coincidence, or Oh, that was just the same but like to us, right? We say Well, no, you understand, like, stand like this is this experience could only be a miracle could only be a miracle right to you. And I get that I get that so I understand. Unknown Speaker 13:43 And also the accumulation of all these things, you know, I can tell which one I could start with lightning let's say this like the for me the lightning the storm was kind of following me at some points. And I don't know why for which reason, but wherever I go in the country, I knew that in few days of massive storm will happen and lightning will be there and it happens and in a way in circumstances that you suddenly you know, you look suddenly at the same they're lightning appears just at this right moments, you know, and it's one time and several times and then what's this and then it's have a huge impact and and meaning and this is one thing okay, I could explain more details against the personal and other things. And this is even more obvious that was in lead deck is really not India, kind of Himalaya with the Buddhist you know, the Lila was there. And all the monks were doing a ceremony in the mountains. And they were singing old mantra and all this music and you know, really powerful vibration. People were shaking. Everyone was weird and shaking strong. You know, energy was really, really high. And it was blues sky with the sun in the middle. And suddenly during in the middle of the ceremony, like a circle of rainbow appears all around the sun during the ceremony, and so you everyone was shaking in the probably was really intense. And the ceremony was important and ceremony. And the next day I remember, my energy was so strong, and I could do all my exercise like 2010 times more, you know, it was something like this. So miracle not, I don't know, but it's a tiny example of many things happen, I could have other examples like this, you know. And, yeah, this by accumulation made me think there is something we can open, there is vibration by we can, you know, like, enhance the energy and, and feel something almost magical. Brandon Handley 15:50 You know, just, I think that, I think being able to kind of have that experience of the storm, following you. I've been in similar experiences myself, is pretty, pretty cool, right? Just knowing that the storm is there, and where it's gonna be, and it's part of part of your life. And then this other experience of kind of joining with all the monks and lamas, and then having having that circular rainbow, but the power of the collective, right, the vibration kind of running through your body is also you know, the vibration that's being created by all those around you. And being open to it. You can feel the energy of a surge. This is what it's kind of like when humanity comes together for a singular purpose. for the betterment of good, you have a raised vibration yourself, and an energetic level that it's just through the roof, right? There's this kind of what I'm hearing, and that's miraculous to experiences. One reason is because we rarely get to experience that, but then to experience it, knowing that that's kind of an I defer to you. But that's that's what experience, that's what humanity is about. It's coming together and pooling our energy for some of these amazing singular experiences, but it could happen all the time if we if we love it, right. Yeah. Unknown Speaker 17:25 And it's through here. Sometimes we know we do kind of circle and little ritual, and we seem together. And already the the energy is different. Now we feel more connected. And wow, it's the air. The light can difference because the energy field, I don't know, I have no theory exactly. I don't know, actually, what's happening now I'm not. But obviously, we feel different than them more connected. And in this stage, miracles could happen, little things, that okay, we have the right things at the right moment. And because all together, we increase the energy in a circle, you know, yeah, no attention. And he is true that, unfortunately, we are seen in civilization, we are still in the age that it doesn't happen that much. Because the logic of our system for how we organize our lifestyle is a bit more individual. So we go in the streets. And you know, we are more in our minds. Sure, we are not connecting with everyone all around. But there is something to do there. And I don't know how to organize this in a massive scale in our society. But it could be interesting and amazing to reach that point. Because I don't know what could happen, but probably crazy, beautiful things. Brandon Handley 18:36 For sure, for sure. For sure. I think there's definitely potential, there's definitely I love that you hit the we work from a logical mind or imaging from a linear mind. And I think that, as you experienced in India, and as you've experienced your, your, your journey, we know that this isn't linear, right? But when we tell a story, we have to tell it in a linear way that so that the mind can follow a timeline, right? So the mind can kind of put it all together. But in reality, it happens in from all around, right? There's no There's no absolute linearity to it, just how to tell the story so that somebody can follow it. Unknown Speaker 19:20 Yeah, exactly. Actually, I had a talk with a friend recently. And the conclusion was these like in India, not only in India, but he was really present there for me. They perceive things differently. And that's the thing is like, as as Westerners we have been educated in one way or mine have been a bit rigid in one way. We are efficient on many things. So we don't deny this you know, we are efficient, some such things is great. But for this perception of things, it seems that they perceive things differently. And it's true when we go there, the observers as empty on that aspect. They see that we are no logic mind. Calculating loads and organizing things, but the perception is quite different on that aspects if if I make myself understand what Brandon Handley 20:11 percent I get, I get that so. So you know, you can't you put all this together and weakening game. Let's talk a little bit about what that experience might be like, for somebody that's out there. Like I said, just kind of trying to figure that out what, what is an awakening game? And what does the name owner mean? Me? Unknown Speaker 20:38 Nah, I mean, first of all one. So the first one also from his first real strong project was one unity is also referred actually to Noah's Ark, you know, this myths of Noah's Ark who go transmitted here the life form, but Noah's Ark, because the knowledge all this content could be transmitted to further generations. That was kind of the intention. And Noah, I mean, it's also kind of the name of my cat because my cat scan is named Noah. And it's just I took this name I think it's okay. And so what was your other question is like home yeah, receive it? Brandon Handley 21:33 Yeah. How would you know play in the awakening game before? How would you describe that to somebody that isn't even on the spiritual path the spiritual path Unknown Speaker 21:45 um, so Israel I observed reaction when I want to show the game to tiny exhibition there most of the people really well gets totally immersed in it and they feel after the experience they feel wow, something happened there. You know, I have most of it this I have some people who kind of cried it's for Israel but of course it's happened it's like they cried because they exactly so when they need it needed to see at that moment, you know, it kind of unlock something in them. And this affiliates assimilate a bit like this concept of tarot cards, you know, the game or now you can see whatever you you choose your path, so everyone will see different things. So sometimes it could happen that you receive exactly the content you need, because you click on the on the choice you need to receive you know. So it's moved something inside, and also it realigns your meditative state of mind. So people who go through it the feel aligned, we could even I could showcase this in the tiny party or something. And after that people are feeling Wow, they feel balanced, right and centered. And good, you know, and the first kind of reaction I had is really rare, but it's happened some people and I know that these people won't like it is rare, but they quit before the end of the game. They, they they cannot they don't want to you know, some people are resistant to this kind of vibration to it. Some people are you know it because it, it could move things. So, understand I agree, some people are not ready or I don't know the oils not on their pass. Maybe they don't need that at that moment, at that moment of their life. But definitely awakening game for me is moving something inside that realign us, you with yourself. You know. Brandon Handley 23:45 I love that description. That idea. And I think that that is the awakening. That is the wakening is awakening, to find out who you are. Right? Get get into contact with yourself. And I always used to make fun of course, you know, look, man, at one point made fun of people like What do you mean to go on a search for yourself? You're right there. Right. And the whole idea of the concept of finding out who you are, yeah, you're right. There, there are people that just aren't ready. They're in that phase of their life right now to to experience that or to be with it. And and that's okay. That's okay. I'm sure I'm sure. I'm sure you've heard the I guess the Buddha's line about the blood of a flower right you don't you know, you don't go to a bud but of a flower and squeeze its head to make it to make it bloom and blossom. He can't. Right. And I think that that's a similar situation here, right? You're putting you're putting someone into an accelerated growth state. And and it's awesome if that person's ready for it. But if it's not an efficient Is not it could actually could actually make it slow down for them. Right. And in either way I love I love the idea and the concept. Again looking looking for what's the side? So sorry, interrupt. Go ahead. Yeah, so half a house a couple of Yeah. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 25:18 no. So wanted to say that on a larger scale, I would like to make the project evolve and also expressed some topics that in my vision matters. So some topic who could show so the you know, the the confusion, we are confusing. So we express what's going on more and more in the world, not not concerning the current situation since two years actually even more even before that was intention, like show how, as human species, we are still weirdly divided and confused. And we don't know what's the purpose of things. I also want to express that. And also, I wanted to add something of what you say is like, finding ourselves to the game is like, it's not mental. So I don't give any clue about who we are. Actually, they I believe just that finding yourself go through. Yeah, empty mind. You know, this meditative presence. Okay, we just good. And here we can feel or self more than knowing or self. And that's what I try to reach. With with the experience. Yeah. Brandon Handley 26:31 Sounds like now's like getting getting you kind of out of your out of your mind and into your heart and into your heart. Unknown Speaker 26:39 Maybe Yeah, just hearts. Yeah, exactly. The heart Brandon Handley 26:43 of it. Would you say that this game would be able to help somebody to find their purpose. Unknown Speaker 26:51 Beats may happen, of course, but like a song, or a movie could have someone to film their purpose. So yeah, this game could as well definitely Brandon Handley 26:59 better. I love that. I love that this is an evolution, evolutionary project for you. So it's ongoing. It doesn't just stop is. And I think that the awakening process is like that, too. Right. The awakening process. I think a lot of people think that once you've awakened, or once you awakened that you're done, right, like, Oh, I've gotten to this place. No, you just started, right? Like this is this is kind of a new beginning. So and then I think that if I understand correctly, you're working with your brother on this project, right? As he's doing, he's doing the music. What's it like working with your brother on this project? Project? Unknown Speaker 27:42 Yeah, it's great. I mean, so he does all the sound design music and also we brainstorm at the end to make the product the best English finishing the best, you know, for the, for the details to have the best quality as possible. And that's great, because it seems that I can, I can claim that I could be really good for visuals and these things, you know, and he bring all the sound design in a perfect way. And of course, we exchange to have the best quality but it's enhanced, definitely the quality like it creates the experience even stronger. Like people say that the visuals are amazing, but the sound design is just incredible. And finally all together like crazy, strong, immersive experience. So that's the point Yeah, it was great to work with him really really nice because it's like it's not that we are the same mind but we understand what's needed to to be for this project you know Brandon Handley 28:49 that's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. So you've got only got about seven days left on your Kickstarter project right? Which is where people can go to find out more about this game they can get to download they get the little bit dig a little bit more of the backstory there. Where can they go? Go to find out more about this game? Unknown Speaker 29:13 And the moment Yeah, for seven days the Kickstarter page of course, for me is a priority obviously. And after that the website Official website is called What do you see dotnet Brandon Handley 29:24 What do you see that that? What are your plans I guess past you know, Kickstarter, what happens if you get to Kickstarter for the scammer for this game? Unknown Speaker 29:33 Okay, so I think I will try to go if it's possible, of course, in Mexico for the pyramids, things and then Egypt also in the same purpose, the ruins pyramids, the the beginning of civilizations and you know, meaningful visuals, then I think I will reach some cities. I'm here in Berlin activity at the moment and I also want to including on our Something more, a bit dark that it is something more about the confusion. And, you know, for now the experience is really magic and uplifting and wow, mystic and beautiful. I want to switch also to different aspects of things and show different vibes different atmosphere to how we feel, you know. And so I want to, to investigate and try a lot of things in that aspect. And I also want to create more visual painting, like interactive paintings, you know, kind of puzzle games, contemplative puzzle games and, and working on that, to create this game, like with a lot of different kinds of doors, we can open Brandon Handley 30:44 that, I think that's pretty cool. So you're looking to go to South America, Egypt and other spaces to continue to build on the map of experiences that you've already built on, say, India and Japan, and add those into the game making this kind of a global global experience. And then the idea of Yeah, look, I mean, there's lots of great things in spirituality. But there's also the dark darkness and the emotions that sometimes we neglect the are inherent to who we are not only as people, but as an overall global civilization. So it's really cool that you're going to begin to be working to, to incorporate that into into the rest of the game. So we Unknown Speaker 31:36 need to see though, yeah, yeah. Brandon Handley 31:39 So what else? Is there anything else? I guess I'm gonna make this kind of a short one, so that we can get this out of the people? Is there anything else I guess, about the game? Or what people are experiencing? Oh, that was one more question Was your family, you know, how's your family feel about this project, when you told them what you were going to do versus kind of where you are? Now love to hear what that is? Unknown Speaker 32:02 Good question. I mean, that's, that's strange. I they never understood. So I had to fight by myself all these years, they start to understand slowly, I guess, is just like this, you know, sometimes people have different mindset, it's how it's meant to be. And still love is there, you know, are good, but for the content itself is like, they finally kind of trust it. They trust me is fine. I had resources is fine, but never really get into it to understand until recently, actually. And I think they are happy that they see me progressing my quest, my dream and go for it after all these years and holding on, you know, and we'll see know how, how it goes? Yeah. Brandon Handley 32:53 Eggs, I think that's one of the things on the spiritual journey on the spiritual path, when when you kind of open yourself up to it and you start to go to do these things, you start to have the conversations with those people that are close to you. There may not be like a deep understanding, right? And there may be this, this this rush to kind of keep you safe. Well, I don't know. Maybe go back to me a graphic arts designer, at least that stable and you can make money there, right. Unknown Speaker 33:20 It's a different generation. And we are lucky no to have internet and to have things to open. We can travel, we can have these experiments. And this generation often is the same things. And the parents can have their mindsets. The lifestyle. I understand. I agree. I don't want to interfere. It's fine. Of course, we had conversation and things but it doesn't matter. I don't have to be right. You know, it's, it's just how it is. And if love is the it's fine, you know? Brandon Handley 33:53 Fantastic. So over on the Kickstarter, I'll put a link out there for that. And then if you go over to what to see. Net, that's one word we can find out about you got connections there. I asked for Facebook and all the social media platforms are so people will be able to connect with you there. Seven days left in the game. I'm feeling senses later. Hopefully you've gotten hopefully you've gotten all your funding, and hopefully you're able to continue to develop and release the game. Thanks for being on today.

The Experience Maker: How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can't Wait to Share by Dan Gingiss About the Book: Competition is tougher than ever these days and competing on price or product just doesn't work as well anymore. So how can companies stand out in a crowded marketplace that is constantly evolving? The answer is customer experience, and the best part about customer experience is that it's delivered by human beings who are unique to a company. The Experience Maker helps managers and executives focus on customers who are already spending money with their company rather than spending more money on marketing new customers. In The Experience Maker, Dan Gingiss teaches that creating a remarkable experience for customers will ensure they become a company's best marketers and salespeople. By learning from the successes of other companies and applying the proprietary WISER method (Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary, Responsive), managers and executives learn to create remarkable experiences that their customers will want to talk about with friends, family, and social media followers. About the Author: Dan Gingiss is an international keynote speaker and customer experience coach who has proven that a remarkable customer experience can be your best marketing. His 20-year professional career consistently focused on delighting customers, spanning multiple disciplines including customer experience, marketing, social media, and customer service.

His 20-year professional career spanned multiple disciplines, including customer experience, marketing, social media and customer service. He held leadership positions at McDonald's, Discover and Humana.   Dan is the author of The Experience Maker: How To Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can't Wait To Share, which was released in September 2021. And he's also the author of Winning at Social Customer Care: How Top Brands Create Engaging Experiences on Social Media. He also hosts the “Experience This!” show podcast and “The Experience Maker Show.”   He earned a B.A. in Psychology and Communications from the University of Pennsylvania, and an M.B.A. in Marketing from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.   Questions   Could you share a little bit about your journey? How it is that you got to where you are today? Could you share with our listeners, Dan, a little bit about this book, maybe share with us maybe three to four pillars that the book is built on? And why a company would need a tool like this to enhance our customer experience? Could you maybe give us one or two examples of maybe companies that you know, that have demonstrated an immersive experience? You mentioned that word of mouth is the best type of advertising for any business. How can we get our customers to the point where they want to share their experiences with us and it's not just a mere experience? Have you found that customers expectations have changed somewhat, since the pandemic? Do you find that they're more sensitive to customer experiences, their expectations are higher? What has your experience been as a customer experience specialist in this area? In this whole digital transformation space that companies are going through, how do you think we can re humanize the customer experience, even though we're using digital to support that whole transition and make things easier for customers? Can you share with us what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? Can you also share with us maybe one or two books that have had the biggest impact on you? It could be a book that you read a very long time ago, or even one that you read recently, but it still had a great impact on you. Can you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now, something that you're really excited about? It could be something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. Where can listeners find you online? Do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you'll tend to revert to this quote; it kind of helps to keep you on track or get you refocus if for any reason you got derailed.   Highlights   Dan's Journey   Dan shared that he started out in a marketing role right after college, even though he had never taken a marketing class; he was a psychology and communications, undergraduate major. And he realized once he gets into marketing, that's basically what marketing is, it's psychology plus communication. So, it turned out to work out pretty well. And he held that job for about four years, he really liked it. But he ended up going to business school, where he really formalized the marketing learning. And he learned that everything he had been doing had names and frameworks and all that sort of thing.   And then he spent another 15 - 16 years in corporate America, in financial services, healthcare, and eventually McDonald's, learning all sorts of marketing channels, but also evolving into customer experience, and really falling in love with CX and its power to impact the bottom line, to obviously make customers happier. And so, the book is really a summary of everything that he's learned, put into a simple framework that allows companies to create remarkable experiences for their customers without spending a lot of money.   “The Experience Maker, How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can't Wait to Share” - The Pillars That The Book is Built On   Me: Amazing. So the book is really, really an awesome tool. So, for those of our listeners that are not familiar with Dan's book, it's The Experience Maker: How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can't Wait to Share. So, could you share with our listeners, Dan, a little bit about this book, maybe share with us maybe three to four pillars that the book is built on? And why a company would need a tool like this to enhance our customer experience?   Dan shared that he's a believer as a marketer, that the single best way to do marketing today is to get our customers to do it for us. And it's called word of mouth marketing; it's usually been considered the holy grail for marketers, and something that's been on attainable until now.   And really, what we're finding is that the companies that create great experiences don't have to work so hard at marketing, because their customers are doing it for them, they're sharing these experiences, because people like sharing positivity. We know that people share both negative experiences and positive experiences, but what they don't share is an average experience. Nobody ever has said; “Let me tell you about the perfectly ordinary restaurant I went to last night.” That's not something we care to share. But man, we will talk about it if it was amazing, and we will talk about it if it was terrible.   And so, the idea of the book is to teach companies, how do you create those amazing experiences and how do you create them in such a way that customers can't help themselves, they reach into their pocket and grab their phone and take a picture and share it and say nice things about you.   So, the framework that he introduced is called WISER. And it's so that you become wiser than the competition when it comes to customer experience. The first four letters wise stand for Witty, Immersive, Shareable, and Extraordinary, which are four different elements that help to create the kinds of experiences that are remarkable or worthy of remark, worthy of talking about.   Now you can use one of them, or you can use more than one of them. And the more that you stack them, the more powerful they are. But even just using one is going to start to change how your customers perceive the experience with you.   The R in WISER then becomes about being Responsive. And when people are talking about us, especially on social media, we've got to be part of that conversation. After all, if somebody gives us a compliment, we ignore them in real life, that's pretty rude. They don't think really highly of us and yet brands do that all the time in social media, where customers are complimenting them, but the brand is nowhere to be found.   Me: So, one of the things I really liked about the section on Witty, so you kind of explained that a little bit for us, you indicated that it wasn't so much about being humorous, because not many brands can carry off humour, depending on what their brand, reputation or image is. But more so, being very clever and creative in the messaging that you put across. And there was one that really caught my eye in the book when I was reading; the gas station one where it said customer service is priceless and I thought that was really cool. Because at a gas station, typically, rates are not necessarily the best. So, that kind of caught my eye like if I did see two gas stations, as you suggested in the book and said customer service is priceless, I probably would go to the one that said that versus the one that didn't have anything that would have caught my eye. That was really cool.   Dan shared that one of the ideas there is that competing on price is a loser's game, and all you got to do is talk to that gas station owner because he's got his competitor right across the street selling a very similar product for the exact same price. So, competing on price isn't going to work for him. Now competing on product is also difficult because they're both selling gas and inside their stores, they're both selling basically the same convenience items. So, what's left is customer experience and if this particular gas station can differentiate based on the service that you're going to get, that is a reason to choose one over the other one across the street.   Example of Companies that Have Demonstrated an Immersive Experience   Me: So, the next part of your book talks about delivering an experience that is immersive. Could you maybe give us one or two examples of maybe companies that you know, that have demonstrated an immersive experience?   Dan shared that immersive is really about the continuity of the experience and creating something that is consistent and fluid in the customer's eyes. And that's difficult as companies get bigger because they tend to have silos and everyone in each silo is responsible for one part of the experience, but nobody's responsible for connecting those experiences together.   So the poor customer ends up with this very choppy experience moving from part to part in your company. So, one of the examples that he shared in the book is about a company called Imperfect Produce. And they're a company that takes strangely shaped and sized fruit and vegetables that don't meet the cosmetic standards of a grocery store. And they box them into a subscription service that you can get a box every week at your doorstep.   And what they do is play on this idea that their fruits and vegetables sometimes look funny, they're sometimes too big or too small, or they're dented, or they're just shaped weirdly. And so, they actually lean into that and they have these characters that appear throughout the experience that are these vegetables and they have googly eyes.   And you see these characters in their marketing, on the box, really throughout the experience. The other thing that they really lean into is this idea that by buying their fruits and vegetables, which otherwise would have gone into the landfill, you're doing a good thing, you're saving waste from going to the landfill, you're saving water and CO2 because of the farmers not having to replant so often and they track this on the website.   So, every time he goes in to pick his fruits and vegetables, he's reminded of how much he has saved from the landfill and he noticed the other day he just crossed 1200 pounds of produce that he's gotten since he's been a customer. And these are the kinds of things that keep people coming back for more because of the immersive nature of them; he's much more tied into this brand than he would have been if they weren't immersive.   Me: It's almost like you feel like you're a part of their journey in whatever they're doing and because of that, it's much more difficult for you to walk away from them. And now it becomes a real relationship, because there's value being given on both ends of the spectrum.   How to Get Customers to Share Their Experiences With Us   Me: Now, you also mentioned that your experiences must be shareable. And I remember you used this word in the book, where you said customers have like a “Meh” experience, which is, I guess, just a mediocre one. I guess if we were to compare it to NPS, it would be like persons who scored seven and eight, because they're not really wowed, but they're not disappointed either, so they're kind of in the middle. So, what I really wanted to ask was, we have customers who we want to share our experiences and you mentioned that word of mouth is the best type of advertising for any business. “How can we get our customers to the point where they want to share their experiences with us and it's not just a “Meh” experience?”   Dan shared that the best example that he thinks really epitomizes this is the story that he tells in the book of taking his son for his birthday to a restaurant called Fleming Steakhouse.   And they walk into the restaurant, he had already told them ahead of time that it was his son's birthday, and the Maître d' hands him a birthday card that is signed by the staff. And he was pretty impressed with that, he had not seen that before.   And they're sitting in eating our dinner and the discussion turns to and this may just happen in families where dad is a customer experience guy. But the discussion turns to his daughter actually brought up and said, “Hey, if they brought us a birthday card, I'll bet they're going to do something pretty special at the end of the meal.”   In the US, you often get a slice of cake and a candle when it's your birthday, and it's a very nice gesture, it's just that every restaurant does it, so it doesn't necessarily stand out.   And sure enough, Fleming's did not disappoint, they came out with a box of handmade chocolates that was sitting on a plate, where Happy Birthday was spelled out in cocoa powder. And instead of a candle, they had a sparkler and the sparkler is so much cooler than a candle.   Now, there are four people at the table and without being told to and without coordinating, everybody immediately grabbed for their phones. And they took a picture of this dessert.   And the parent shared it to Facebook, and the kids shared it to Snapchat or Instagram, and just like that, Fleming's had four different shares of an experience at their restaurant, all because they decided that a slice of cake and a candle while a nice gesture, is just not going to stand out enough for people to want to share it.   Now, he'll bet that box of chocolates and the sparkler doesn't cost them much more, it might even be around the same price. But the idea is that it's so completely different and it stands out in such a way that people can't help themselves, they want to take a picture of it.   And so, he uses that as a metaphor for companies to think about, “Where do you have a candle that you could turn into a sparkler?” Because that's the difference, that's what makes it shareable.   Me: That's amazing. That was really out of the box thinking that that restaurant did for your son. And you're right; every restaurant does just give a cake and a candle so if you're doing something different then I guess that's where the extraordinary in your wise acronym comes in because that experience was definitely extra ordinary, it was definitely out of the ordinary.   Dan stated that extraordinary just means a little bit better than ordinary, it doesn't have to be a private firework show and a Beyonce' concert, that's extraordinary too.   But nobody has that kind of budget to do. And so, it's just about figuring out somewhere in your journey, where let's say you're doing something the same way that your competitors do it, that's a pretty good bet that that's an average experience, because your competitors are not delivering extraordinary experiences most of the time. So if you're doing it like everybody else is doing it, do it differently. And that's a great way to go from ordinary to extraordinary, make it stand out by being a little bit different and that is another element that causes people to want to talk about it. Since the Pandemic, Do You Find That Customers Are More Sensitive to Customer Experiences?   Me: So Dan, a big part of customer experience now, I know it has definitely changed a lot. I know a lot of customers are paying so much more attention to it now since we're all going through this global pandemic. But have you found that customers expectations have changed somewhat, since the pandemic? Do you find that they're more sensitive to customer experiences, their expectations are higher? What has your experience been as a customer experience specialist in this area?   Dan stated absolutely. He thinks we as customers really took note, especially early on in the pandemic, of which companies were there for us when we really needed them, and which companies weren't.   And the truth is, is that a lot of companies did a very nice job at especially at the beginning of the pandemic, responding, reacting, and innovating. And then other companies really did not a good job of this. And basically checked the box, and didn't particularly do anything different.   So, an example of that is when the pandemic first started, most of us got a lot of emails from companies that were telling us about their enhanced cleaning procedures. And he loved that everybody called them enhanced cleaning procedures, they weren't ever better or improved, or anything other than the word enhanced because somebody started using the word enhance, and then everybody else copied that word.   And they also sent us, at least in the US, they would send us to the CDC website, which is the Center for Disease Control, he's sure other countries have a similar organization. And what he found was that all these emails basically said the same thing, they were totally uncreative, unremarkable.   And then I got an email from his investment broker Charles Schwab and their email didn't say anything about cleaning procedures, or the CDC website. Instead, their email said, “We understand that you must be very nervous about a volatile stock market. And so, we want to make sure that you know all of these tools and benefits that you have available to you that you can use to help you through this difficult time.”   And for him, that was exactly what he needed from his investment firm. He didn't care about their cleaning procedure, that wasn't important to him. But he certainly cared about a volatile stock market. So that's the difference between companies that cared, and that were really trying to deliver what customers needed at this difficult time, versus what everybody else was doing. And so, that is something that customers remember and they've seen lots and lots of customers switch brands during the pandemic, because they realized that the company they were doing business with just wasn't going to be delivering the experience that they wanted.   Re-Humanize The Customer Experience Even Though Using Digital to Support that Whole Transition and Make Things Easier for Customers   Me: Amazing. So, that's definitely some other ways that our customers' expectations have changed. I think also Dan, since the pandemic, I get that digital transformation is super important and it definitely makes life that much easier for the customer and can create that effortless experience for them and seamless experience, especially seeing that you may not want to physically go to the business place. But I get a lot of questions from time to time from companies asking me questions like; “Do you think human beings are going to become obsolete totally in the whole realm of customer experience? And of course, my answer is always no. But in this whole digital transformation space that companies are going through, how do you think we can re humanize the customer experience, even though we're using digital to support that whole transition and make things easier for customers?   Dan shared that he totally agrees with Yanique, humans aren't going anywhere, we're not going to be replaced by robots. And the reality is that customers today crave human interaction and the pandemic actually exacerbated that, especially the time that we were all stuck in our homes for so long, we wanted human interaction. And so, there's a time and a place for both human engagement and technology engagement within the customer journey. There are times where we just want to self serve, and we just want to go online and see our balance or pay a bill or whatever and we don't want anybody to bother us, we just want to do it ourselves. And then there are other times where we really need to talk to someone because we have a problem that we don't think we can solve by ourselves or that might have too many layers to it. And so, we don't, at that point, want to talk to a computer, we want to talk to a person. And he thinks that companies that are getting it right are figuring out when do we deliver self service and when do we deliver human service. But those two things are always going to exist; one is not going to replace another.   App, Website or Tool that Dan Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business   When asked about online resource that he cannot live without in his business, Dan shared that he would say right now it's actually LinkedIn and the reason for that is just that it is the place where he network, where he share content, where he consume other people's content. And where he meets people that want to do business with him. And he thinks that is the space right now online that he can't do without.   Books That Have Had the Greatest Impact on Dan   When asked about books that have had the biggest impact, Dan shared that one of his favorites is They Ask You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing and Today's Digital Consumer by Marcus Sheridan. It's a marketing book and it teaches you how to create content around the questions that your customers ask you, or that your prospects ask you. And so, although it's a marketing book, it actually takes a lot of customer experience themes into it and he thinks it was one of the most valuable books that he has read, and has used in his own business and actually has used with clients as well. Another one that he would pick, he's going to go with one of Jay Baer's books, because he loves him as well. He really loved Utility, but he's going to go with Hug Your Haters: How to Embrace Complaints and Keep Your Customers. And much like his (Dan) first book, being about social media, customer service, this is really a book that tells you to embrace complaints, and to learn from them and to treat them as gifts, because they can help you not only be responsive to customers, and maybe turn them from detractors to advocates, but also to go back to your business and find what's actually wrong and try to fix it for other people. So, Hug Your Haters is another one that definitely changed how he thinks about things.   What Dan is Really Excited About Now!   When asked about something that he's really excited about, Dan stated that you're asking a guy that just spent nine months launching a book; he's now kind of just coming off of that. But he'll say that he's super excited to be back speaking on stages in person. He had two keynotes this week in two different cities, it was so nice to be with people again, yes, everybody's being safe and wearing a mask where appropriate. But there's just something as the speaker to talking to people in real life and seeing their eyes and seeing their reactions and hearing them laugh and clap and what have you that just doesn't happen on Zoom or in digital channels. And so, that's something he's really excited about is the fact that live events are coming back and are back in some places. And he really looks forward to doing a lot more of those in 2022.   Me: That's brilliant, love that. So simple. And pre pandemic, we probably would have taken these very simple things for granted. I'm sure we never would have imagined a time when we were locked up in our homes and everything had to be digital. So now, as you said, we're getting back out there, and we're still being safe. But you really appreciate the very simple things in life that as I would say, we may have taken for granted; we wouldn't have realized how important or how valuable those kinds of experiences are.   Where Can We Find Dan Online   Website - https://dangingiss.com/ LinkedIn – Dan Gingiss Twitter - @dgingiss   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Dan Uses   When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Dan shared that this quote, believe it or not comes from a fortune cookie. He got this fortune that he was so excited about and he taped it up on to his camera right behind his laptop screen.   So, since the camera is always facing him, he can always see this. And it says, “Never mind tomorrow. Today is the day.” And he loves that because there are days where we want to procrastinate, or there are days where we just don't have the energy. And he likes reminding himself that today's the day and today is the day that he can move his business forward, he can help a customer out, he can do something nice for somebody, and you never know what tomorrow brings, or even if tomorrow brings and so that's a quote that's definitely stuck with him for a while.   Please connect with us on Twitter @navigatingcx and also join our Private Facebook Community – Navigating the Customer Experience and listen to our FB Lives weekly with a new guest   Grab the Freebie on Our Website – TOP 10 Online Business Resources for Small Business Owners   Links   The Experience Maker: How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can't Wait to Share by Dan Gingiss Winning at Social Customer Care: How Top Brands Create Engaging Experiences on Social Media by Dan Gingiss They Ask You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing and Today's Digital Consumer by Marcus Sheridan Hug Your Haters: How to Embrace Complaints and Keep Your Customers by Jay Baer   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience   Do you want to pivot your online customer experience and build loyalty - get a copy of “The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience.”   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience provides 26 easy to follow steps and techniques that helps your business to achieve success and build brand loyalty.

An exclusive behind-the-scenes (BTS) look at my new immersive study program. Happening this Winter 2022. For the first time, I take you behind the scenes to give you a first-hand look at how I'm re-working the existing system of studying & teaching yoga. For student who loves to practice, but looking to deepen their understanding of yoga. But doesn't necessarily want to teach yoga. The issue that plagues the yoga world today is most people leap from loving asana to suddenly studying to become a yoga teacher. Skipping many parts & payers in between. This is a big loophole. There's a need for more yoga study or education programs in the modern-day context.  This is what we talk about today. I share my 10 non-negotiables when starting a teacher training or study program. Perfect if you're keen to evaluate your own training or use this as a checklist to audit your previous yoga education. You can find all the resources mentioned in this episode in the show notes at https://letstalk.yoga/Connect with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/arundhati_baitmangalkar/Join our exclusive Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/letstalkyogaJoin our mailing list: https://www.aham.yoga/instagram-2021 for all episodes.

Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center.

Today, Melanie talks with Dr. Kim Le, a child and adolescent psychiatrist based in Adelaide, Australia. He completed his psychiatry training in New South Wales and in 2015, Dr. Le received a federal grant to collaborate with an Internet Gaming Addiction Clinic for teenagers in Singapore. He has a special interest in “Gaming Disorder," which was recognized by the World Health Organization in 2018 as a mental health disorder. Dr. Le shares his professional journey that led to his interest and passion in treating families struggling with gaming addiction, and he is committed to increasing community awareness of the negative effects of online games on a child's development. Melanie and Dr. Le discuss how the game designers capitalize on the business aspect of video games that leads to the scientific development of the immersive design that hooks the player. Dr. Le introduces the idea of "The Hero's Journey" archetype that appears to meet the psychological needs of children that disconnects them from reality. They discuss why moderation is not encouraged, but rather to change the focus on family values in changing your family's routines. Identification and prevention of screen addiction is also discussed as Dr. Le shares stories of families he has worked with struggling to address issues of gaming addiction with their children. This is a must-listen episode for all parents, and we encourage you to share this with friends as this would be the perfect episode to start a podcast discussion group and grow your own ScreenStrong community.Dr. Kim Le's TedTalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ7A74Vx7YE&t=55s&ab_channel=TEDxTalks Learn more about Dr. Le's practice here: https://cgiclinic.com/about-the-doctor/Subscribe, rate, and review this podcast to help spread the word.

What's the best marketing method for any business? It's creating a remarkable customer experience. An experience that stands out from the crowd. An experience that is so amazing that your customers will share their experience with other potential customers without you even having to ask. Dan Gingiss is an author, podcaster, and international keynote speaker. He believes that creating a remarkable customer experience is the very best marketing method for large and small businesses.  Dan has led marketing teams in almost every marketing channel for the past 20 years. He has professional experience at brands like Discover, McDonald's, and Humana. He is all about real-life examples of actionable customer experience solutions. He is the author of Winning at Social Customer Care: How Top Brands Create Engaging Experiences on Social Media, and his new book, The Experience Maker: How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can't Wait to Share. We dive into why it's so important for customers to have a remarkable experience, making customers feel cared for, and negative versus positive experiences. We often see negative reviews and occasional positive reviews, but we rarely see adequate reviews even though that's where many customer experiences fall. This leaves a huge gap to differentiate your customer's experience. Dan shares so many actionable ideas and stories to back them up. We also talk about Dan's WISE method, which stands for Witty, Immersive, Shareable, and Extraordinary. Plus, how and why this method is so valuable.  And be sure to subscribe to The Self-Employed Life in Apple podcasts or follow us on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts so you don't miss an episode.
